So what are people doing to distract themselves for a week? I've got Bioshock, EDF2k17, and Ninja Gaiden all waiting for me mostly unplayed; but I can't play them because everytime I boot em up I realize they aren't Halo 3 and quickly get bored.
Team Fortress 2 beta of course, also perhaps some Halo 2 MP to get back what little skills I had.

Played Bioshock. Rented and finished God of War 2. Now going through Heavenly Sword. Nice pallet cleansers for going back into FPS.

skate. It's really hard to get bored in that game. And I still haven't finished Blue Dragon.

Don't diminish yourself. It looks quite nice.

Like the last scene in a Western.


Thanks!

It's just that I have only been rendering cars for long as I can remember, so this style is new to me! I never rendered any complex objects, humans or landscapes.... only cars :/

I just got Warcraft 3. Never played it before in my life due a series of sucktacular computers, but it's friggin awesome. I'm playing through all of the campaigns from Reign of Chaos as well as The Frozen Throne. The game holds up amazingly well. It's easily the best any game has looked on my laptop. Also, DOTA is a blast, but I suck at it.

And I'm also playing skate, which everyone should check out sports fan or not. Probably my second or third favorite game this year behind Bioshock and God of War 2.

Trying to finish Stranglehold. Ill probably replay Halo 2 one more time.

I'm probably going to go back to the lovely and mesmerizing world of Dragon Quest VIII for a while. That game still needs to be finished although I never want it to end

I wish I had Skate. I would play that probably. I don't really want to go on Live though. Too many people have seen the ending now. And it's Xbox Live. Those two facts combined mean someones going to spoil it.

I'm going to be on this thread for the next week. Between that and work, I should be good. And somewhat bored. I might cave in and get Sonata.

Oh man, this is the last weekend before Halo 3...one last weekend...next weekend....we're all going to be playing and posting impressions and meeting up...!!!!!!!!!!!

A 10 from Edge would be megaton. The damage control would be epic.
I can't imagine what would happen here.

(I'm thinking about going dark now too, as of right now nowhere is safe anymore)

To be honest, in the preview of H3 they did a month or two go back was hugely optimistic. Still got to wait untill teh review is out to find out if its true or not.

Starting later tonight Eternal Sonata. Maybe that will take me to thursday.

Super Paper Mario. Only played it briefly (like, 15 minutes :lol), so I'll probably try and finish it off now that I have time to kill.
 
Is anyone up for some Halo 2 today? I got plenty of time for some games with gaffers. I do not own the latest pay to use maps tho.

*edit* I'm thinking of some classic BR start blood gulch ctf in custom games.
 
aww damn i watched the ending too :( But it was strangely satisfying even though I haven't played the game yet. This is going to be the best game ever.

Yeah, I watched it to. Could Not Help. Epic. This IS going to be the best game ever.
 
Hay guys, whut's goin' o-- oh shit, megaspoilers all around it seems. Looks like it's time to go dark. It was inevitable that there would be leaks, but 3 years is far too long of a wait to have it spoiled like this. Guess I'll just stick to the Bnet front page, HBO, and a few select threads around GAF. Might even pop my head in here every once in a while.

Hard to believe it's really this close though. In exactly 1 week and 12 hours, I will be getting into line for the midnight launch. Already got the Legendary edition paid off, and my camping itinerary finalized and everything. This last week will go by agonizingly slowly, but the final reward will be worth it and then some. Stand firm, brothers, the wait is almost over.
 
Man it's getting bad out there...We're no longer safe...No on GameFaqs, not on Youtube, not on GameTrailers...Are we even safe at GAF???111?!!? There's only one 7hing lef7 7 d0...Get off this computer and study for my psych test.
 
So, is it possible to go anywhere without this épique being spoiled? Fudge.

Hey Frank or Luke, change the ending on these clowns, eh mange? And don't say it's not possible. WWMCD? If my dogs farts can smell like a rotten steak being crammed up your nose, surely the carpet can be pulled on all those who would spoil it for everyone else.

I must say, I love the style of your posts :lol

i might watch the spoler vid, as i'll never finish the game, as i sucked at Halo2
LOLZ
So not even playing co-op with 3 mates/friends on a fun yet not too easy game setting would stop you finishing a top rated game? tsk tsk.

Easy, set home page to GAF, and stay with-in its bunker like walls of protection

Dani followed the rules. If you lack the discipline to keep from highlighting spoiler tags, get off the internet and join the Marines.

Dude, come on, I get my thread updates through e-mail and print it out through pdf - You know, a native feature (e-mail updates from subscribed threads) in the Neogaf boards which automatically strips away any sensored text... ( And also the search featur in the thread tools returns search results and anything related as highlighted... ).
 
bj00rn your avatar has been over the size limit for days now, watch yourself as it can lead to a ban if not fixed. Size limit is 90 width by 120 height.

Oh boy, GAF has been infiltrated. Keep it strong guys! A little over 7 days!

This is the last game with Chief so I want to get to the ending myself, it would be too easy to just go on youtube and not work for the ending. I would leave but I love this place too damn much.

That would be great if those videos weren't real but alas, most cannot confirm or deny. Only a few can...
 
I will be making the rounds to local kmarts and maybe even radioshacks after I get out of work. (5 more hours) However, I'm not very hopeful at finding it early. I never get anything before street date.

Also Penny-Arcade had a spoiler spam attack on a bunch of threads. It's since been cleaned up, but I saw two still images from the youtube video. Luckily my glimpses didn't spoil anything since I started scrolling fast once I saw the poor quality images.

I wonder where people are getting the game.

Everywhere. 7-11, K-Mart, BestBuy...I'm sure Managers at Gamestops are allowing some employees to take it home for the week....Of course, their DM would have to be in on it.

We're getting two boxes of 120 regular editions today. So much Halo love.

Where do you work?

It's a product of drinking "Game Fuel" in the morning. I honestly can't stand the stuff and they should include Mr. Yuk stickers with it. I'd still drink it, though. I see your giraffe has as well!

I can only imagine Ghaleon's bunker north of Portland. All I can imagine is that strange couple from Tremors, with the dad from Family Ties and all the guns.

7-11 is selling Halo 3?

....

Is PayLess Shoe Source going to be selling Halo 3? ShopRite? The post office?
There are Lemon-Aid stands, manned by snotty six-year old girls selling this game in my 'hood. Seriously, their lemonade sucks.
 
7-11? I might have to stop by... my worry though is the banhammer from live.

If you are playing it is it an autoban on live? or is that because they caught that guy. I mean, shit, some people have it early legitly.

and if it is - what if you go offline with your xbox until the 25th? will it be banned when you go back online since a lot of achievements are there from before the 25th?

anyone have any idea?


and has anyone ACTUALLY been able to get it from 7-11?
 
I've also tried to find gamefuel in stores but can't find it. Some New Yorka hit me up with some game fuel.
 
so if you manage to get it early, how cautious should you be regarding playing online? or using your harddrive? I know that the guy that posted the video a few pages back didn't even want to put his harddrive in. Does MS really have grounds for banning accounts just for playing a legal retail copy of the game early? I just find that hard to Believe.

Don't bother trying to find gamerfuel. It's not worth your money & time.

Code Red is much better!
